In Change Over Time, you’re using structures with there is/are, and straightforward subject + verb + object sentences, including time phrases. In our course we go over the structures you need.

In Static, on the other hand, you need more comparative / superlative structures. Again, these are in our course. You need to use comparative phrases with linking words such as in contrast and on the contrary.

Most likely, you will get a number question on Academic Task 1.

I usually call “change over time” as “with trends”, while “static” as “without trend”. No matter it would be table or pie and line chart, they can represent both static and change over time. Importantly, candidate should focus on more time period whether there is? and then spend time to choose suitable vocab and structure.
